6 Family Centred Care Family Centred Care is a partnerships based approach to health care, involving patients, families and health care providers.

7 A FCC approach is one that; empowers individuals and families and fosters independence; supports family care giving and decision making; respects patients and families choices and their values, beliefs, and cultural backgrounds; builds on individual and family strengths; involves patients and families in planning, delivery and evaluation of health care services.
